Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

A sufferer of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) could ignore the symptoms for a long time before they seek help. This could be due to denial or being worried about telling people because of their reaction. A person might refuse to tell anyone for fear of being disbelieved. There is a stigma around mental health which could force a person to believing they need to keep it a secret. Counselling could help unlock this stigma.

A really interesting blog and so true. Often people with PTSD suffer with other symptoms and mental health problems such as depression, persistent anxiety, panic attacks or phobias, or misuse drugs or alcohol. Counselling and Psychotherapy can help a person understand and cope with what is happening to them.
